A turd, Mike Huckabee, in a selfie in St. Petersburg back in 2016. His post reads, "Arrived in St Petersburg Russia. Was going to arrive on a horse & shirtless but didn't want to over excite the Russian women."

It was nice just getting back on the bike after surgery. I managed to put in enough miles to lose 40 lbs.

Billy Doran is on at the cafe for some reason.
Bill Doran of the Astros on first base. This is a recast of a game back in the '80s. A dog being very good at the cafe with expectations of a reward.

Ohio was spoiled with innovative rock bands during that era. Dead Boys, Chrissie Hynde, Pere Ubu, Bizarros, Rubber City Rebels, Waitresses, Raspberries, etc.

Guy standing on a bike while riding. Risky. Over the river on Roosevelt. An interesting home creation bike. It's an old clunker with a small front wheel to accommodate a basket. Also interesting front kickstand.
